Traditional Medicine/HIV Network Node

Challenges

There is a deficiency of self-sustained centers that meet international requirements for validating traditional medicines especially for HIV/AIDS in the Southern Africa Network for Biosciences (Samba) countries, hence the need to pull resources together for better development. The overarching aim of this project is to identify these capacities with a view of harnessing the expertise through sharing responsibilities and resources for consolidated out-put. The region must conduct research on herbal remedies aimed at improving public health and support training of its people to meet future research challenges.
